Viewers are obsessed with the cowboy hats seen on Love Island and we've tracked them down
With just a couple of weeks to go until the final of Love Island series 13, viewers have been busy dissecting every single moment, from the relationship twists to shock exits.
While fans have had plenty to say about who’s coupling up with who, another topic has been dominating conversations online this summer and it’s got nothing to do with the Islanders’ love lives.
In true Love Island fashion, the villa has once again become the source of our summer style inspiration.
Every year, there’s one standout item that gets viewers talking, whether it’s a must-have dress, an iconic pair of sunglasses, or stunning swimwear. Like last year, we couldn’t stop talking about the #bikinigate drama between Shakira Khan and Helena Ford.

This year, however, the biggest talking point has been firmly focused on the accessories.
Fans have noticed the same cowboy-inspired straw hats popping up again and again in the villa in different colours.
After doing some digging, we’ve managed to track them down.
Where are the Love Island cowboy hats from?
The girls appear to be wearing the bestselling Exuma Hat from Monday Swimwear, a woven rattan cowboy hat that has become one of the brand's most popular accessories.

£105

£95
The accessory was particularly hard to miss during the latest LI Fest celebrations, which saw the Islanders get all dressed up for one of the villa's biggest parties of the series so far.
With festival-ready outfits taking centre stage, the hats blended perfectly with the theme and quickly caught viewers' attention.
If you've been wondering where Islanders, including Ellie and Priya, have been getting their statement beach hats from throughout the series, this appears to be the answer.
Why are Love Islanders wearing cowboy hats?
The natural woven design combines the practicality of a classic sun hat with the western-inspired silhouette that's been trending everywhere from festivals to beach clubs in recent years.
Whether the girls are lounging around the pool, relaxing on the day beds or getting ready for another dramatic evening around the fire pit, the hats have been making regular appearances on screen throughout this latest series.
It's easy to see why the accessory has become such a hit.
The neutral colours mean they works with virtually every bikini in an Islander's wardrobe, while the structured cowboy shape adds a fashion-forward edge to even the simplest swimwear look.
One of the hat retails for £105, which makes it more of an investment purchase than a last-minute holiday buy.
Still, they've clearly become one of the defining fashion pieces of the season.
Spotted on Love Island All Stars
This isn't even the first time the trend has taken over the villa.
Fans may remember spotting similar cowboy-inspired straw hats throughout this year's Love Island: All Stars series, where several Islanders, including Samie Elishi and Millie Court, also embraced the western-inspired look while soaking up the South African sunshine.
Now, the trend has made its way to Majorca and is proving to be just as popular with this year’s Islanders.
While plenty of viewers may be tempted to splash out on the exact style seen in the villa, there are also plenty of similar options available if you're looking to recreate the look for less.

If this year's series has proved anything, it's that the Islanders' outfits and accessories can be every bit as conversation-worthy as the drama itself.
